The PFL is bringing out the big guns for its return to pay-per-view. In addition to a big heavyweight bout between Francis Ngannou and Renan Ferreira, the organization has booked a women’s featherweight bout that will pit MMA legend (autotag)Cris Cyborg(/autotag) against two-time PFL champion (autotag)Larissa Pacheco(/autotag).
The two women are scheduled to co-main event the pay-per-view card on October 19. Cyborg, who has won titles in the UFC, Bellator, Strikeforce and Invicta FC, is considered by many to be one of the all-time greats. Pacheco has established herself as a top talent in recent years.
So is this the best women’s MMA fight that could take place today? Could Cyborg outdo Amanda Nunes in the greatest debate of all time?
MMA Junkie’s Brian “Goze” Garcia, Dan Tom, Farah Hannoun and host Gorgeous “George” Garcia discuss the booking and what it means for women’s MMA.
